Chapter 1103 Interpretation and self-confidence
When Zhu Ping'an was busy commanding the defense on the city wall, the disharmonious voices under the city wall never stopped. Those who did not listen to the advice and were determined to escape from the city, because Zhu Ping'an did not order the city gate to meet their requirements, their crying, cursing, and sarcasm never stopped, especially when Zhu Ping'an focused on strengthening the defense of the West City Wall section, these disharmonious voices reached a climax, just like a boiling sound.
"Young and young men, you all saw it. Although our magistrate is not very old, he is very cunning. Look, there are only more than 150 soldiers in the county town. Just because the little magistrate is in Xicheng, he left more than 60 soldiers in Xicheng, and only 30 soldiers in each city gate."
"Everyone knows that the pioneer Japanese pirates clearly appeared at the East City Gate, but our small magistrate arranged heavy troops at the West City Gate. It was not just for public use. He was sending heavy troops to protect himself. He said that he lived and died with the county town, but sent heavy troops to protect himself. I guess when things were not done, he would take these heavy troops to break through the encirclement and escape from the city. This was both a bitch and a archway."
"When the Japanese pirates break through the city, we have no choice but to run away. The little magistrate has these soldiers to protect him and he can run away at any time."
"Everyone, old and young, everyone opens their eyes wide, keep their eyes open, see the true face of this hypocritical little magistrate. Don't be sold, and help people count the money..."
The disharmonious sounds under the city wall were getting more and more buzzing, which had reached a level that affected the preparations for war on the city wall. We couldn't let it go. Zhu Ping'an put down the stones in his hand, patted the dust on his hand, and slowly walked to the city wall.
The people under the city wall have been paying attention to Zhu Ping'an, especially those who are full of resentment towards Zhu Ping'an because they cannot leave the city. They even stared at Zhu Ping'an without blinking. When Zhu Ping'an came over, everyone focused their attention on Zhu Ping'an.
"Mr. Magistrate, you said that you lived and died with the county town, but you ended up sending heavy troops to protect yourself..."
"That's right, you have a trick on your lips and a trick behind your back. When the Japanese pirates break through the city, you have someone to protect and you can escape at any time. We poor civilians can only be slaughtered by the Japanese pirates."
"Mr. Majesty, in order to satisfy your reputation of living and dying with the county town, do we have to be buried with so many innocent people? Don't you think you are too selfish? If you really want to keep a good reputation in the minds of our people, while there are not many Japanese pirates in the West Gate, open the city gate and let us escape from the city. We will miss you after we leave the city."
...
Before Zhu Ping'an could speak, the people under the city who wanted to leave the city but were unable to leave the city were already the first to attack. At the critical moment of life and death, they didn't care about the superiors and inferiors. If you don't let us go out of the city to survive, what are we afraid of?
"My fellow villagers, I, Zhu Ping'an, said that if I, Zhu Ping'an, will definitely, be together with the county town. This time, I, Zhu Ping'an, have only two results. I, Zhu Ping'an, will either win or die. The black and red marks on the city wall are still there. You don't have to doubt this. At any time, I, Zhu Ping'an, abandon the city and flee, you can kill my Zhu Ping'an's head immediately; even if you are afraid and do not kill me, Zhu Ping'an, on the spot, as long as you report it to Taizhou Prefecture later, Taizhou Prefecture will definitely cut off my Zhu Ping'an's head for the crime of traitoring the city, betrayal and not defending the army."
Zhu Ping'an stood on the city wall, looked at the sarcastic people below, pointed at his head, and explained to everyone with a serious look on his face.
When the people who were boiling under the city wall heard this, they looked up at the official seal document posted on the city wall and nodded. Yes, all the official documents covered by the county magistrate were posted, and the magistrate could not repent, but they wanted to go back on their word.
but
It's still wrong. Since you are going to live and die with the county town, then you selfishly mobilize heavy troops to protect yourself.
After thinking about this, someone couldn't wait to question Zhu Ping'an. "The magistrate said it nicely, why did you transfer heavy troops to stay in Xicheng? You are not using your power for personal gain, and using public tools for personal gain, and using troops to protect yourself."
"My fellow villagers, the reason why I, Zhu Ping'an, dispatched heavy troops to focus on defending Xicheng was not because of selfishness, but because Xicheng would become the focus of this Japanese pirate invasion." Zhu Ping'an pointed at his feet and explained.
"Will the West City become the focus of the Japanese pirates' attack? Hahaha... The magistrate is really lying and not drafting. There are obviously Japanese pirates outside the East City Gate, but there are not a single Japanese pirate outside the West City Gate. But the magistrate says that the Japanese pirates will attack Xicheng?! The magistrate really thinks that we ordinary people are stupid and coaxing."
"That's right, the magistrate. We are not blind, you can't coax us. Now that the Japanese pirates are clearly in Dongcheng, how could they focus on attacking Xicheng? Why are you talking lies with your eyes open?"
"Hahaha, it's really funny."
"Look at it, the magistrate is the magistrate, and he can't even blush even if he lies with his eyes open."
...
After Zhu Ping'an explained, there were sarcasm under the city wall, and everyone questioned Zhu Ping'an's remarks. Look, the Japanese pirates clearly appeared outside the East City Gate, but you focused on defending the West City. This makes no sense.
"The Japanese pirates are taking action to attack the west. They used dozens of Japanese pirates to paralyze and deceive us in the east city, but in the end they attacked the West City Gate. So, I focused on defending the West City Gate."
Zhu Ping'an explained again.
"The magistrate really lies and doesn't make drafts. As soon as he says, the Japanese pirates belong to your family. If you say they are fighting against the east, they will fight against the east."
"That's right, how do you know that the Japanese pirates are fighting against the west? If the Japanese pirates attack the East City Gate, the number of people in the East City Gate is not enough for people to get stuck in their teeth."
"Love people..."
"It's true to see it, but it's no point to say it. The Japanese pirates clearly appeared at the East City Gate, one came at a time, and one came at a time, and more and more. The magistrate actually said that the Japanese pirates were attacking the east and the west, which was ridiculous."
Everyone under the city walls did not believe it, and there were constant sarcasm.
"If all the villagers pay attention to it, they will find that most of the villages rampant by the Japanese pirates are concentrated on the west side of the county town. Only a few villages on the east side have suffered, and a large number of villages on the west side have suffered. This means that the Japanese pirates are concentrated on the west side of the county town. If the Japanese pirates attack the county town, the Xicheng Gate is more conducive to their assault... In addition, the villages that were suffering on the east side are far away from the county town, and the villages that were suffering on the west side are only a few miles away from the county town. If you say you arrive first, it should be the Japanese pirates on the west side that appear first at the west side, but the Japanese pirates on the east side have appeared first at the east side, so all this is just a trick of the Japanese pirates fighting the east and the west."
Zhu Ping'an stretched out his finger and pointed to the east of the city, then pointed to the west of the city, and explained to everyone with a confident look on his face.
Of course I became confident. Zhu Ping'an looked at the west of the city silently and shouted silently, "Let the family shine brightly on the ancestors."
In the old forest not far from the county town in the west of the city, the rolling black luck is like an evil python, with the same blood-red evil python luck. It is murderous intent and soars into the sky. The two are tangled and hovering like a tornado and swept over the west gate of the county town. In an instant, the black and blood-red luck are as rained as before, and watered in the white luck pillar above the heads of the people in the county town. Immediately, the white luck pillar above the heads of the people, turned black and blood-red to the naked eye...
The blood-red luck represents the disaster of blood, and the black luck represents the death.
This is Zhu Ping'an's confidence.
Of course, Zhu Ping'an definitely cannot tell the people like this. He can only reverse the details from the conclusion and use the details to present facts to the people.
The effect is also ideal.
Zhu Ping'an presented the facts and reasoned, and said with a firm word. When everyone under the city wall heard this, they thought about it and seemed to be the case.
Of course, for those who stubbornly want to leave the city, no matter how reasonable Zhu Ping'an said, they would not believe it. After Zhu Ping'an finished speaking, they buzzed under the city and questioned Zhu Ping'an. However, regardless of scale, strength and influence, they were much smaller than before, and were no longer enough to affect the overall situation of preparing for Japan.
